‘Should I Be Sending My Children to Camp?’ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-thompson-phd/sending-kids-to-summer-camp_b_1539726.html
Cleaning House- A Mom’s Twelve-Month Experiment to Rid Her Home of Youth Entitlement It all began when self-described enabling mother Kay Wills Wyma kicked off an unusual one-year experiment to introduce her five children to the basic tasks of independence. While today’s well-intentioned parents are doing all they can to facilitate their children’s rise to greatness, parents are realizing that the hovering is backfiring. Now, if or when, kids even leave home-they are increasingly helpless and dependent. Parents’ attempts to boost their kids’ success are instead enabling their failure with the unspoken message: “I’ll do it for you because you can’t.”

It’s NEVER about the money…even when it is: How to untangle your emotions from your moneyThis book uses words that are common to everyone and puts them into a refreshing perspective to show how we confuse our emotions with our finances. The book digs deep and raises eyebrows; some of the observations are startling. The book comes from one woman’s journey of healing from almost financial ruin to peace and stability. The author’s comment: “If I can do it without a Masters degree, so can you. It takes compassion, hard work and courage.” Using in part client stories to illustrate a point, the book also provides tools that can be used immediately.
